# Class Extensible

- [TopLevel.Object](/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/references/b2c-script-api/TopLevel.Object.md)
  - [dw.object.Extensible](/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/references/b2c-script-api/dw.object.Extensible.md)

Base class alternative to ExtensibleObject for objects customizable through the metadata system.
Similar to ExtensibleObject: the [describe()](/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/references/b2c-script-api/dw.object.Extensible.md#describe) method provides access to the related object-type metadata.
The [getCustom()](/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/references/b2c-script-api/dw.object.Extensible.md#getcustom) method is the central point to retrieve and store the objects attribute
values themselves.
